Oats Overnight Inc, Phoenix, AZ, United States, 85003
A Little About Us
Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we’re now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal : become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.
We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.
This is an exciting stage — we are emerging as a significant omni-channel brand and launching new products to capture significant market share across verticals. We want you to help us get there.
Every teammate here has equity because we’re building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you’re excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity.
We are not accepting candidates from third-party recruiters or agencies for this role — direct applicants only.
What’s The Job?
This role provides a unique opportunity to support a growing team at a lean and high-performing organization and will be a critical operational support for the warehouse operations including logistics and inventory management, ensuring effective team support of initiatives.
Our playbook doesn’t exist — we need someone who can help write it and bring the teams along with them.
This position is expected to exercise a high degree of autonomy and take on significant responsibility.
An ideal candidate will have broad interests and background knowledge in CPG, food manufacturing, warehouse, and logistics.
